In 1911, Ide Kuniko claimed to have divine powers at the Tenrikyo Church Headquarters in Tenri, Nara, where she was dragged out and beaten by other Tenrikyo followers.

Ide Kuniko used a variant of the Mikagura-uta called the Nisei Mikagura-uta (二世御かぐら歌) ({{lit|Second-generation Mikagura-uta}}).{{cite web | title=二世御かぐら歌│全 | website=朝日神社教祖 – 井出国子 | date=2022-11-20 | url=https://ide-kuniko.com/%e3%81%8b%e3%81%90%e3%82%89%e6%ad%8c/ | language=ja | access-date=2025-04-27}}
